A flowchart is a visual representation of the sequence of steps and decisions needed to perform a process. Each step in the sequence is noted within a diagram shape. Steps are linked by connecting lines and directional arrows. This allows anyone to view the flowchart and logically follow the process from beginning to end.

How often have you thought about streamlining a process in your organization but not been sure where to start? Or perhaps you have struggled to understand a process when it is described to you in detail. Flow charts are a useful tool in these situations, as they make a process easy to understand at a glance.
